This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
The purpose of the learning is to be able to effectively contribute advertising ideas. Credited learners understand the process of origination and can come up with and offer ideas that are relevant for specific advertising strategies and assignments.

Being able to contribute to the origination process, and linking one's ideas with given specifications and strategies ensures that one's ideas and solutions are relevant and meet specified requirements. Being able to communicate one's selected solutions is an important competence and can be applied in various contexts. 'Selling' one's ideas is increasingly transferable as it is becoming more and more needed in various fields.

Organisations, and especially businesses, depend on innovation and origination to remain competitive and to identify new opportunities. In addition, if unique South African advertising products are developed, the export potential of such products will increase.

Credited learners are capable of:
  • Generating idea and solution options related to advertising contexts.
  • Evaluating and selecting idea and solution options for development in advertising contexts.
  • Formulating arguments for presenting selected ideas and solutions.
  • Delivering idea and solution presentations. 
    		•

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    The credits and level assigned to this unit standard is based on the assumption that learners have already attained the following competencies:
  • Communication and language at NQF Level 4. 
    		•

    UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
    Presentations should be limited to internal (peer) presentations, and routine external presentations. Credit learners should be able to present their own ideas to their peers and supervisors, and are generally only required to present ideas to external audiences (e.g. clients) as a member of a team lead by someone else. Both verbal and non-verbal presentation components are included.

    Additional range statements are provided with specific outcomes and assessment criteria where relevant.

    UNIT STANDARD NOTES 
    Notes to Assessors:

    Assessors should keep the following principles in mind when designing and conducting assessments against this unit standard:
  • Focus the assessment activities on gathering evidence in terms of the main outcome expressed in the title to ensure assessment is integrated rather than fragmented. Remember we want to declare the person competent in terms of the title. Where assessment at title level is unmanageable, focus assessment around each specific outcome, or groups of specific outcomes.
  • Make sure evidence is gathered across the entire range, wherever it applies. Assessment activities should be as close to the real performance as possible, and where simulations or role-plays are used, there should be supporting evidence to show the learner is able to perform in the real situation.
  • Do not focus the assessment activities on each assessment criterion. Rather make sure the assessment activities focus on outcomes and are sufficient to enable evidence to be gathered around all the assessment criteria.
  • The assessment criteria provide the specifications against which assessment judgements should be made. In most cases, knowledge can be inferred from the quality of the performances, but in other cases, knowledge and understanding will have to be tested through questioning techniques. Where this is required, there will be assessment criteria to specify the standard required.
  • The task of the assessor is to gather sufficient evidence, of the prescribed type and quality, as specified in this unit standard, that the learner can achieve the outcomes again and again and again. This means assessors will have to judge how many repeat performances are required before they believe the performance is reproducible.
  • All assessments should be conducted in line with the following well documented principles of assessment: appropriateness, fairness, manageability, integration into work or learning, validity, direct, authentic, sufficient, systematic, open and consistent.
